Enum ChartColumn.DataType

java.lang.Object
  java.lang.Enum<ChartColumn.DataType>
      ca.sqlpower.wabit.report.chart.ChartColumn.DataType

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<ChartColumn.DataType>

Enclosing class:

ChartColumn

public static enum ChartColumn.DataType
extends java.lang.Enum<ChartColumn.DataType>

Enumeration of the data types a chart column can have.

Names are chosen for compatibility with DataType, with which this enum will eventually be merged.

Method Detail

values

public static ChartColumn.DataType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ChartColumn.DataType c : ChartColumn.DataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ChartColumn.DataType valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null

forJDBCType

public static ChartColumn.DataType forJDBCType(int jdbcType)

Returns the appropriate data type based on the given JDBC type. If the type is non-standard or not recognized, it will be assumed to be a string.

FIXME because of variability of database platforms, it would be far better if we had the help of the DataSourceType object for the platform the type code came from. It could be passed in as a parameter to this method.

XXX we do this in enough places in all our products (and in fact elsewhere in Wabit that it would make sense to create a common SimplifiedSQLType enum in ca.sqlpower.sql and use it everywhere. Such a type would be written to get the help of the DataSourceType in question.

Parameters:

jdbcType - the type code from java.sql.Types.

Returns:

the data type that most closely represents the given type code.
